The album was produced by Bruce Fairbairn and recorded at Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

[4] The album was produced by Bruce Fairbairn like its predecessor and recorded at Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

"Born to Be My Baby" was originally recorded acoustically, however the producer Bruce Fairbairn persuaded them to re-record it with electric instruments in a much more metal style.

This song has a similar theme to "Livin' on a Prayer", as it is about a young working class couple struggling to make ends meet.

[citation needed] Although the glossy production and anthems from Slippery When Wet remained, the band wished to show a level of diversity on the album.

[citation needed] "Love for Sale" was recorded and engineered by John P. Allen and Chris Cavallaro at Chalet Sound in Allenwood, New Jersey.

New Jersey was released on July 1, 2014, as a 2CD "Deluxe Edition", which included the original album remastered along with B-sides and previously unreleased demos from the New Jersey/Sons of Beaches sessions.

The "Super Deluxe Edition" includes both discs plus a DVD containing the documentary Access All Areas: A Rock & Roll Odyssey and New Jersey: The Videos.
